As per the official notification, a total of 742 candidates have successfully qualified for admission to the Army, Navy, and Air Force wings of the 156th course of the National Defence Academy (NDA) and the 118th Indian Naval Academy Course (INAC). Among the selected candidates, 651 are male and 91 are female.
